Americablog/Time to stop using GoDaddy.com

[cal04]

Time to stop using GoDaddy.com. The president is a pro-Bush, pro-Gitmo, wingnut
This is actually very sad. I love GoDaddy.com. It's a service for registering and hosting Web site, and is incredibly cheap and easy to use. I've used it for years, and have tons of names registered with them. I will sincerely start looking for who else offers a cheap and well-run domain hosting service now.

Their president is, well, a right-wing nut. (This is Parson's original post, that's a bit harsher and attacks Senator Durbin a LOT more, he's subsequently edited it back). And worse yet, the company Web site links to his blog, and his blog has the company logo on the top of it. That is not somebody's "personal" blog when you use your company, a company I give money to, to help direct traffic to this man's uber-right-wing vitriol. This really is sad. It was such a great company.

Can anyone recommend cheap and good domain hosting services that are comparable? Register.com is one big expensive rip off, and 4 times the price. Anybody else do domain name registration for $9 a year?

Spread the word, GoDaddy.com is run by a loud-mouthed pro-Bush clone who is using his company to promote a pro-Bush message and attack Democrats.

1. ipowerweb.com

is who I use. I have 3 domains with them as of now. Support is super and reliable. They have always had an answer for me within 24 hours. The also pay for domain name registration if you sign up for 12 or 24 months.

Although I have not checked their political leanings.

4. Good, my ass!

It was ridiculously sexist.

Did you notice the female congresswoman, envious of the silicon injected witness, was named Eleanor?

A fair commentary on Janet's tit-gate from the prior year, but not something I would consider "good".

7. It was a clear stab at Bush FCC policies

and the aged incompetent law makers were reminiscent of many current and former GOP politicians.

3. Ohhhh... this kind of breaks my heart to hear this!

I've been a VERY happy go daddy user for years! I've got quite a few domain names registered with them. I've been pretty darned happy with them... up till now.

Thanks for the info.

you like his article about keeping Gitmo open.

And, yes, crap. GoDaddy.com has really good service - people actually answer the phone when I call and don't treat me as if I am unbelievably stupid. I felt this coming. I will switch.

9. Damn. My domains are coming up for renewal next month.

I will switch asap. Too bad... they have been a decent company to deal with.

No wonder they are so cheap though...it's who you know.


Any recommendations would be extremely welcome.

10. What do you expect

from a company that has such sexist, Cro-Mag commercials for its product/service?

I don't have to stop using them, I never did.
